Costante Girardengo Road Racing Frame Fork Crankset BB Pedals Fixie Track 56CM

Description

For Sale: Costante Girardengo Road Racing Frame and Fork With Crankset Bottom Bracket and Pedals
This is a super rare road frame. Costante Girardengo was a total stud and the Champion of Champions before the World Championships ever existed. I am not certain about the exact age of the frame but believe it to be from the 1950s. It has to be an early example of internal cable routing for the rear derailleur cable. Being 60 plus years old there are scuffs, scratches, paint chips, and surface rust. It took only a touch with a wire wheel to knock the rust off of a small area. The frame measures approximately 56CM from the center of the BB to the center of the TT. The TT measures approximately 56CM from the center of the ST to the center of the HT. Girardengo cotter type crankset with BB. 170MM 50/47T. The BB is surprisingly smooth especially considering its age. The headset does not feel as smooth as the BB as it sits but I made no attempt to adjust it. It is fully functional and will definitely feel good with an overhaul. The pedals are in very good cosmetic condition. The axles have some play but are functioning. Compatible with 27" or 700C with caliper or coaster brakes. The housing has been left in the frame so that the buyer can more easily replace it. If the housing is removed without first running a cable to guide the replacement housing back though the frame it could result in excessive amounts of time spent fishing the fresh housing back through the frame. Which is no fun at all. Please view images for the most accurate representation of physical condition. The items pictured are the items that the buyer will receive.
